What people love about Isle Of Skye Tours
- 4-day Isle of Skye and The Jacobite Steam Train
Eddie the driver is enthusiastic and helpful. Since we are going through the Scottish land, it didn’t matter if he didn’t pronounce accurately! He tried taking us to places. However, the size of the bus seem to have him turned away! Re the coming Orkney tour on 8th July, please confirm if the driver means 2pm at the waiting room of Inverness train station. Marked ‘waiting room’ in blue. I have to be at the train station by 5.45pm on 14 July latest to catch the night train to London on 6.45pm
- Orkney, Skye, & The Far North
The tour of Scotland was thoroughly enjoyable and provided many highlights. The guides went out of their way to provide relevant background information about all the areas we passed through and took every opportunity to find extra sites to visit. The guides maintained great rapport with all the participants and were very well organised.
- Isle of Skye, Loch Ness & Inverness
Our Loch Ness Explorer tour with a photo op at Glencoe was a wonderful tour with breathtaking scenery. Our tour guide, Caitlin, made an already amazing tour even better. She is very knowledgeable about her country's history and so engaging and passionate, you will find yourself feeling like a very proud (honorary) fellow Scot!
